BROADSIDE PUBLICATION GUIDELINES 1 Front Cover BROADSIDE is the principal medium through which the Theatre Library Association communicates news, activities, policies, and procedures. Collectively, past issues also provide historical information about the organization and the profession of performing arts librarianship. BROADSIDE has no ambition to serve as a scholarly journal. Scholarly and other articles or monographs may be considered for TLA‘s other principal publication, Performing Arts Resources.
In addition, BROADSIDE serves as a means for the exchange among members of information that advances the mission of the organization. Examples of this include short news items about recent activities of both individual and institutional members; short reviews of relevant books and other resources; news of relevant exhibits, conferences, and other developments in performing arts librarianship, collections, and scholarship.
In keeping with the aims of a newsletter, and to help the Editor and the TLA Publications Committee to maintain fair and consistent editorial policies, the PHOTO CREDITS: Publications Committee has developed the following guidelines.

Permission to republish an article may be requested from the Editor. 6. Ideas for articles – other than brief news items, book reviews, or submissions from officers and committee chairs – should be submitted to the Editor in advance in order to allow sufficient time to plan layout, provide constructive suggestions, and occasionally seek guidance from the Publications Committee.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Distinguished Achievement in Service and Support of Performing Arts Libraries Award
Robert Taylor
The Executive Board of Theatre Library Association is proud to present its Distinguished Achievement in Service and Support of Performing Arts Libraries Award to Robert Taylor, Curator emeritus of the Billy Rose Theatre Division at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Bob‘s long and distinguished career in theatre archives, his impeccable curatorial instincts, outstanding scholarship, tireless dedication to his collection as well as his staff, and personal integrity make him extremely deserving of this award. Bob served as Curator of the Theatre Collection from 1992 until his retirement earlier this year. Under his stewardship, the Division adopted state-of-the-art archival best practices, acquired and processed significant collections (including the Joseph Papp/New York Shakespeare Festival Archive – the Theatre Collection‘s largest acquisition to date; the Katharine Hepburn papers (covering her stage career); Paddy Chayefsky‘s papers; the records of designers such as Patricia Zipprodt and Franne Lee; Circle Repertory Theatre and Circle in the Square papers; as well as the photographs of noted dance and theatre photographer Kenn Duncan, to name just a few).
Equally important, Bob simultaneously lobbied successfully to obtain funding for numerous acquisitions, as well as for processing and conservation of these priceless collections. His professional commitment to theatre archives included participation on TLA‘s Board, serving as Vice President (1991) and frequently chairing our Nominations Committee.
His passion for theatre scholarship and generosity in sharing information resulted in numerous exhibitions that both educated and entertained the public. A few noteworthy exhibitions at New York Public Library curated by Bob Taylor include: American Theatre in the Age of Mozart (1991), Theatre of Michael Stewart (1995), Best of Times: The Theatre of Charles Dickens (2002), Stars and Treasures: 75 Years of Collecting Theatre (2006), and Focus on the „70s: The Fabulous Photography of Kenn Duncan (2008). Previous to his tenure at New York Public Library, Bob served as Curator of the Theatre Collection at Museum of the City of New York from 1985-1988. Some of his exhibition offering include Saving Faces: Collecting Images of Broadway‟s Brightest (1986), The Threepenny Opera as Seen by Arbit Blatas (1987), and Selling the Show: Turn-of-the-Century Theatre Posters (1988).
In the early 1980s, Bob had the distinction of serving as Manager of Museum of the City of New York‘s now- defunct Theatre Museum, the only one ever located in the Broadway district during its notorious dicey days. Further, he curated Broadway! 125 Years of Musical Theater, the memorable installation of MCNY treasures that opened in the IBM Gallery in 1991, and then toured nationally for over a year.
A true Southern gentleman if there ever were one, the full extent of Bob‘s contributions and influence on the Billy Rose Theatre Division may never be fully known. His unassuming, calm influence has made him much- beloved by all those who have encountered him – from theatre celebrities to NYPL pages. Please join us in saluting Robert Taylor in accepting this honor!
